  1. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    SweetPEI replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    I'm mixed with tons of curls too. My daily routine involves washing my hair (shampoo or just conditioner) and putting a leave in cond., and a"frizz free" pomade, blow drying for 5 minutes and then air...

  2. Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

    SweetPEI replied to Jfbeck440's topic in General Students

    Love it! This is the one I use as well. It is worth it because it goes beyond just being a planner.... Tips, lab values, abg's, assessment

  3. Do men and women go into nursing for different reasons?

    SweetPEI replied to European's topic in Men in Nursing

    In not saying it in a bad way. I'm saying when people are ill, they may become unlike themselves and many times can feel as if they are being ignored, ill treated, etc. I've always heard that nurses...

  4. Do men and women go into nursing for different reasons?

    SweetPEI replied to European's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've already replied, and although"a calling" is not my reason like love of science is, I don't doubt that some were made just to be nurses. For example, I have a friend who was going to school for...

    SweetPEI posted a topic in General Students

    4.0 this Semester!!!!! :w00t: This summer consisted of 3 classes. One of those classes was pathophysiology. Everyone I spoke with told me patho made them cry . Of course, I went in with added anxiety...

  6. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    SweetPEI replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    That funny, but in class I jokingly suggested that a person drink beer to help a kidney stone pass only because I know beer really makes you go... a lot! My instructor actually agreed with

    SweetPEI replied to hcs4291's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Advanced congrats to those who get in the program. GSU is my alma mater, although that is not where I currently go for the nursing

  8. Happy I can stand on my soap box and give myself kudos... anonymously

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in General Students

    Thank you all! For those feeling apprehensive about Patho: brush up on your anatomy and physiology, more so the physiology. If you know how your macro and micro systems work, then it isn't too hard to...

  9. Do men and women go into nursing for different reasons?

    SweetPEI replied to European's topic in Men in Nursing

    Biology had always been my favorite subject. I have always been interested in.science. Psychology opened my eyes to what goes on in our heads and anatomy and physiology intrigued me! What can I say I...

  10. Financial aid at community colleges as second degree student

    SweetPEI replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well from my own experience: you are gonna have to work and go to school. I am in a full time nursing program and I work. Is it recommended? No, but if that is your only option to pay for school, then...

  11. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    SweetPEI replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm... I wonder if this message is being pondered

  12. Nursing program starts Aug 27th and I'm not prepared!!!

    SweetPEI replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    I don't have kids, so I cannot relate. However, you will learn in nursing school that having one whole week to get something done is SO much time. My advice is for you to call a family meeting, create...

  13. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    SweetPEI replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have completely missed what I said. There are jobs, including ones for new grads. You just have to look hard and/or make changes to accommodate. Something tells me you are no where near...

  14. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    SweetPEI replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post is pointless, or maybe I'm just missing the point. There at tons of jobs out there however many of them require experience or of the jobs out there, many of them do not appeal to new grads...

  15. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    SweetPEI replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well then, look into another profession so that those of us who do still see the point can be closer to getting a job. Not to come off as mean, but your question is super redundant. The economy...

  16. Medication Mistake

    SweetPEI replied to buttercup_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IMHP, you should be grateful your mistake was a simple one that could be chalked up to a learning experience. As far as stating that the other nurse acted as if she never made mistakes, the focus is...

  19. New Grad - Interview coming up, Not sure if I should mention this in the interview

    SweetPEI replied to mangopeach's topic in Psychiatric

    Congratulations on your newly acquired position. Good luck, in advance, on the full time position. My opinion is that your answer should be dependent on the type on interview questions they ask. If...

    SweetPEI replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    You and I both... Ours is white and navy blue, any brand/style with any white shoe or shoe that is mostly white. We can also mix/match our uniform (i.e. White top blue bottom). We do have to wear a...

  21. LAZY CNA's!!

    SweetPEI replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear you, but the initial comment regarding the language simply said the other aides were in the hall chatting in some other language (when she needed help) my point is the mentioning of the...

  22. LAZY CNA's!!

    SweetPEI replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is another example where I can see your frustration, but it boggles my mind to really and fully only accept your one side of your complaint simply because that word "WORTHLESS" stands out to me....

  23. LAZY CNA's!!

    SweetPEI replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have just been reading all the comments on here, and like it has been said, there are bad apples in all professions. In this respect, it is a complaint regarding CNA's. However, I lose interest and...

  24. A nurse called me a "little pretend nurse!"

    SweetPEI replied to Amber628's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Its sad that you are being asked to explain yourself. At the end of the day you earned your credentials, so even if you were acting out of line, your credentials remain the same. Bottom line? Her...

  25. Whats the point of a LPN license

    SweetPEI replied to FurtureR's topic in General Students

    Oh boy, yet another "put the LPN down" thread. how many more of these will I encounter? I am certan one can get their point across without belittling others, but when the down-talking takes place its...
